The Glorious Revolution

Question 4 • FL-2109310-World History Sem 1 - Flex

Of what relevance are the Glorious Revolution and the English Bill of Rights to government in the United States?

Answer

Americans incorporated the idea of a constitutional monarchy into the Constitution.

The idea of bringing in monarchs from another country inspired Americans to do the same thing.

Many of the ideas concerning separation of powers and protection of rights were implemented in the United States.

Americans recognized that the separation of powers would never work in their newly independent country.

Explanation

The Glorious Revolution helped establish limits on the monarch’s power, and the English Bill of Rights protected certain rights and reinforced the role of Parliament. Americans drew on these ideas when designing a government with separated powers and protections for individual rights. The U.S. Constitution created a republic, not a constitutional monarchy, so choice A is incorrect.
